A Chestnut Worth Retelling.
From the Southern Evangelist

In one of our colleges a professor who
made himself very friendly with the stu
dents was walking out with an intelligent
scholar, when they saw an old man hoeing
in a cornfield. He was advancing in his
work toward the road, by the sideof which
lay his shoes. As it was near sunset, the
student proposed TO play the old man Joke.
II will hide his shoes; we will conceal our
selves behind the bushes aud see what he
will don
NO" said the professor, sit would not
be right You have money enough: Just
put dollar in the old mans shoes, then we
will hide behind the bushes and see what he
will do"
The student agreed to the proposal, and
they concealed themselves accordingly.
When the laborer had finished his row of
corn he came out of the field to go home.
He put on one shoe, felt something hard.
took il of and found the dollar. He looked
around him, but saw no one and looked ND
gratefully toward heaven He then put on
the other shoe and found another dollar. He
looked at il, and looked all around him. but
saw no one. He then knelt upon the ground
and returned thanks TO God for the blessings
which had been conferred upon him. The
listeners learned from the prayer that the
old mans wife and one Of his children were
sick, and that they were very poor: so that
the two dollars were n great relief sent TO
them from heaven.
There" said the Professor, chow much
better this is than to have hidden tile old
mans shoes. "

NEW BUILDINGS.
1t is very cheering to the old city to note
that, in spite of the earthquake it continues
to grow. The official figures show that since
Oct. l. 1886 permits have been issued for the
erection of 163 new buildings at a cost Of
Sl53, 525. As it is matter of history that
comparatively few buildings were entirely
destroyed in the earthquake, although very
few escaped without serious damage, these
figures may be taken to represent the actual
growth of the city, and 10 show that the
people have still an mistaken faith in its flu
ture. They do not include the new city and
government buildings now in course of con-
struction and which involve cost of per-
hapS S6OO,000 in round numbers.
A PHOSPHATE ROCK SYNDICATE.
Rumors prevail in commercial circle that
a syndicate is about TO be formed to control
the price of crude phosphate rock which is
used extensively in New York, Baltimore1
Philadelphia and elsewhere in the manufac
ture of fertilizers. 1t is said that ali the
principal mining companies both of land and
river rock have entered the syndicate. The
terms are that the entire product of the
mines is to be placed in the hands of gen
eral manager, who will be empowered to
make all the sales and to regulate the price.
Such a combination existed here in 1S84-5,
but it embraced only the land companies
and fell through in 1885 owing to the fact
that the river companies undersold the
others. The present arrangement will en-
brace both land and river companies. The
annual production of phosphate rock here
amounts to 100000 tons, valued at about
$2,000,OO0 The present prices range from
81 to IS per ton. The syndicate proposes to
run up prices. David Roberts, a we'll
known phosphate king, it is said, will be the
general manager of the syndicate. Large
blocks of phosphate mining and manufactur-
ing stock are owned in New York and Balti-

the Captains of the several steamers
complain of narrow escapes from

to be no settled understanding whose dutyit
is to place lights on the jetties, but the gen

the lights in the river have also been out at
various times because the parties having
them In charge have been away from their
posts and left others to attend to that duty.

Restoring Old Rates.

The Rate Committee of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association, which
met in st. Louis last week,
restored rates to what is known as
the Ohio river basis. The making
of rates by the Southern lines only to and
from the river was in force for long time,
but more recently through rates have been
made by lines north of the river ON traffic
originating at points north Of the river and
destined to Southern territory, and vice
versa. There will be in the future no pro-
rating, but, as stated, rates will be made
only to and from the river. This change
will in 10 wise conflict with the provisions
of the interstate commerce law, but it will
be of little or no benefit to shippers.

Gen William L. Loring who has been an
officer in the United States, Confederate
and Egyptian armies, and who for nearly
forty years was engaged in active warfare,
died at the st. Dennis hospital New York,
on the goth. Gen. Loring was born in
North Carolina in 1877. AT the age OF six
teen he entered the United States
army as second lieutenant and engaged
wi5h much credit to himself in the
Mexican war he was captain in the First
mounted rifles, and for acts OF bravery
was successively promoted, until at the
close of that war he was chief in command
OF the regiment. He was breveted lieuten.
ant colonel for bravery at Con-
treras and Charus busco, and colo
mel for conspicuous acts OF bravery
at Chepultepec. where he lost an
arm. When the war of the rebellion broke
out Col Lorins, whose sympathies We're
with the South, resigned and became brig
adler general in the Confederate army. He
served in West Virginia in 1862, was at
Vicksburg in 1868, and with Gen. Bragg at
Chattanooga and in the ensuing cam
paigns. AT the close OF the civil war the
general, with several Confederate officers,
went to Egypt ana entered the SER
vice OF the khedive. The general
was made chief OF the khedives staff, and
rs such was known as Loring Ppsha. In
1873 he returned to this country with a
competency and invested largely in orange
groves and real estate in Florida. Three
years ago he published "a Confederate
Soldier in Egypt" a book descriptive of
life in the khedives army, ant, at the time
OF his death WAS writingn an nut photography.
The general WAS never married, and his
nearest relatives are the sons and daugh-
ters OF his brothers and sisters.

men who have won distinction are not

breadth, like Bonaparte, Stephen A.
The thinkers of the world have gen
orally been small; as Cicero, Aristotle,
Bacon. Alexander. Pope. Alexander
Hamilton and Oliver Wendell Holmes
The members of the senate. ever since
that body was established, have been, it

great merchants outweigh their clerks.
